The Official #7 Tennessee vs. Alabama Game Thread, 6:00 PM ET, ESPN2

[Lankykong]

Yeah, Pons cured our defense but def not our offense. Needed Springer for that

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Fulkerson 3-8 from the line has hurt, he’s just not been in this game offensively.

Need to keep up defending and make some shots in this last 4+

 

[vavolfan6]

How is everyone so off at the same time? We have alot of shooting power, but not greeting consistent points from anywhere

 

[Namorto1]

Definitely a game where we needed Springer.

 

[RockyTopRiot]

yeah, that 1 they missed out of 15 made sure shows up.

It’s a start

 

[peerless98]

Very odd game for us offensively. Just look out of sync

I posted early in the game that we look tired. Short arming a few early FT's by different players makes me wonder if they are leg weary for some reason.

 

[Bigorange123]

I laughed....I hope it’s made out of copper

And magnetic

 

[ndubvols]

Need to start taking it to the rim. Not getting enough penetration for any good looks from 3.

 

[vols 30]

Absolutely the difference in the game considering we've missed 9.....so far

Plus the T on RB.

Bailey has been fairly decent, probably need to go to him more. Still need to target Shackleford as it seems to work

 

[GBO18]

Barnes needs to have the “talk” with Fulky again this year.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Welp if Bama doesn’t score anymore we will win.

Well assuming we can score. That's been a chore tonight.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Just not our night. Pons was in foul trouble from the very beginning, Springer got hurt early, and we haven't been able to hit our free throws. All of that, and Bama still is having to scratch and claw to hold on.

 

[Roustabout]

They have been in the bonus and laying timid on offense. This is where jjj is a huge liability.

 

[Lankykong]

Plus the T on RB.

That may be what has kept Pons in the game

 

[peerless98]

Need some stops and need to hit some 3's.

 

[1985Vols]

JJJ just not confident on offense

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Oh look, those wasted trips are now costing us.

 

[hUTch2002]

Yeah, Pons cured our defense but def not our offense. Needed Springer for that

Our D hasn’t been great tonight.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Thats about ball game there.

Getting like 2 points in 6 min killed them

 

[peerless98]

Hit all 3 please

 

[Lankykong]

Call the flop

 

[C-south]

The bleach blonde dude has been a liability since he’s been here.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

This is just some piss poor shooting

 

[sportsnut624]

I’d be excited about the foul on the 3 but knowing how we’ve shot free throws I fully expect missing two of these haha
